Hey Chris, What exactly is the aim of this project? Is this a 90% reimplementation of PDL? If so, I would really like to have a well thought-out C API, so that I can easily create new PDLs from my C or C-like code. I would also really like to be able to call PDL functions from C.
Whether those belong in a Tiny module I cannot say. It depends on what you're trying to make tiny. :-) David On Sun, Dec 14, 2014 at 11:31 AM, Chris Marshall <devel.chm...@gmail.com> wrote: > > To support POGL2 development (updating Perl OpenGL bindings to APIs 3.x, > 4.x, and the ES variants) and as a start at the PDL3 core implementation, > I'm preparing a PDL::Tiny module and am looking for your input on what you > think should or should not be in it.
